DON'T GO TO POLAND IF.... (6 Things You Must Consider)

[@jakubbartoszak8876]

I'm a Pole, and I once worked and lived in Netherlands. And I shaved my head bold. I just did, I wanted to. My Dutch boss asked me why i did it, and I wanted to joke about it and I said something like "well I just got to know how much do I need to pay for hairdresser here and I decided to do it by myself". He didn't get it :/ I think that is a good exaple of a Polish sense of humor the Vigo's Dad is talking about.

[@cheekymonkey5150]

Finally someone is talking about it 😅 Yes Poland is cheap when you earn 4 or 5 times more than a typical Pole 😅 Although Poland it's getting more expensive every day.. :/

[@edytatehrani3934]

And even with that it is not that an average Pole earns that much less, it's because of difference in the currency value. When I look at the level of life of an overage person in Poland and compare it to Canada, I see that people have it better in Poland. For example, you can't survive on full time wages from one minimum wage job in Canada. You would have to choose between food or shelter. But in Poland a person earning a minimum wage, can get basic food and shelter. It's going to be tight, but it's possible. In Canada, you have to work at least two minimum wage jobs to survive. The standards of living are higher now in Poland than in Canada.

[@cheekymonkey5150]

[@edytatehrani3934]

Agree with most points. When it comes to drinking, however, one doesn't need to be into it to enjoy their time in Poland. There are many Polish people who don't drink and they are going to respect your decision, but you shouldn't be shocked when other people do or look down on them.

About making friends in Poland... I'm Polish and I've been living in Canada for a year now (in Quebec I should add!). I have 0 Canadian friends. Most of my friends are Spanish, Brazilian. But generally it's extremely hard to make friends here. Ppl don't have time to meet, they keep cancelling, they don't have any initiative but wait for you to keep offering sth. I do feel the reason is first of all living in a big busy city, with little sense of community. In Poland everything is just much smaller in scale, and in many ways that's a good thing. Secondly the change in ppl after covid. Lastly, it's just harder and harder to make friends as we age. Possibly the hardest if you move in your thirties. But now I believe it's actually fairly easy to make friends in Poland! And don't even mention the snow or cold weather in PL being a problem 😅 Come to see the winter here!

[@pyrolight7568]

oooo you are in Quebec... They are not very friendly to... well anyone who is not from Quebec. The area around Quebec city is better though. You would do far better on the prairies, it is where all the Polacks, Ukies, Krauts and such went. Manitoba, specifically Winnipeg, has a very large eastern European population. My mother, who was born in Canada, actually didn't speak any English until grade school. It was all Polish up till then.

[@mzam0]

@@pyrolight7568 Oh but I'm not necessarily looking for Polish friends here. As a matter of fact my husband is not Polish, and as a mixed couple we are always open to meet all kinds of ppl. I just meant in general, from my own experience it's easier to make friends in Poland (perhaps I should add - living in a city), than here in Quebec. However I'm aware that while I'm Polish, my experience making friends in Poland is not the same as foreigner's.

Przecież np. taka Warszawa jest większa niż Quebec (jeśli mówimy o miastach). W zasadzie jedynym większym miastem od Warszawy jest Toronto. Więc o jakiej mniejszej skali mówisz? W Polsce nie brakuje sporych, zatłoczonych miast, gdzie ludzie nigdy nie mają czasu. I one mogą być małe przy takim NYC czy Szanghaju, ale no nie przy Quebec. Chyba że mieszkałeś/łaś dotychczas w jakiejś Kolbuszowej czy innym takim miasteczku, ale to wtedy nawet przeprowadzka do Krakowa byłaby dla Ciebie szokiem pod względem skali i braku czasu ludzi.

[@mzam0]

@@DJ7ful Jestem z Warszawy, a mieszkam w Montrealu. Mówiłam o Quebecu jako stanie. A wrażenie skali pewnie wynika z odległości, tutaj i w całej Ameryce Północnej. I wielkie, światowe korporacje raczej niż małe lokalne. To sprawia, że jak masz jakąkolwiek sprawę, to załatwienie jej jest o wiele trudniejsze, masz poczucie, że nikt ci nie pomoże i nikogo nie obchodzisz. To są moje wrażenia tutaj i o to mi chodziło w kontekście skali.

[@Liaminthanas]

[@paxvera5199]

Well, you are partially right. I am Canadian living in Poland for about 7 years, and some stuff you got wrong. Average Canadian drinks much more then average Polish. It is not hard to meet Polish on social level, but to make real friends it takes time. Not like in North America where after meeting some one for 5 minute you calling that person's friend. It is fake. Poland is not cheap by any means even for Canadians. Everything is related to income. Let's see....average income in Ontario is $48,000 and to rent 1 bedroom apartment cost you minimum $2450 (In Toronto). Average house in Ontario is about $1.2 million, in Krakow you can get one for about 1 million zł., and so on. Average income in Poland is around 50 to 60,000 zł. Anyway, Poland is much more family oriented and friendly, much more interesting and giving much more opportunities to people, and government is much more open to people from outside wanted to move to Poland. Love you video of course. Have a good day.

Thanks for the info. I agree in everything you said here. I have a Polish friend who lives in Bialystok. I already met his aunt,dad and gf virtually and they are all friendly and have sense of humor. He mentioned that most Polish like vodka matched with slanina. He also teaches me Polish language which is too hard to learn. I hope to meet them in person someday. The first Polish word I learned is kurwa.😂 I learned many things abt Poland.

Proszę nie przeklinać, to kulturalny kanał 🤫

[@theworkethic]

@@piotrwieczorek6588 I was born 55 mins south from Bialystok and have family there, so I’m on the area you mention. I’ve lived in Toronto, Canada since ‘86 but the serving with vodka there in the 90’s was vodka, bread, sliced sausage or ham, sliced tomatoes and cucumber, butter. That’s what was on every table with vodka. Slanina was around but it was really bacon, cut up into pieces with onion and vinegar. I was by no means a vodka side. I doubt it’s by any chance popular in 2023.

[@dradamov]

Some fun facts: -Słonina seems a bit of an Eastern thing in Poland, but it is practiced in Mazovia too for instance. Sniffing bread to vodka shot is very rare,but not unheard of, eating pickles or just meat is common with drinking, but the most common is just having water or some beverage to drink after a shot -Kurwa is a handy word, it holds more than 200 different types of usage in Polish language (yes, there were studies about it) -We also have a separate swear words dictionary and it is about 90 pages long -Dark humor seems to have been developed as coping mechanism for 123 years of being under 3 imperial regimes at the same time, WW2 occupation, and soviet influence during the PRL period all one after another -If you can say "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz, Chrząszczyżewoszyce powiat Łękołody" it means you are ready -Not drinking while partying happens more often than you think. Some people have to drive, take meds, are already hungover, they have to go to work the next day - so it is okay

[@benwars9524]

Funny thing - as usual, when a non-Pole puts forward a video about Poland addressed to other non-Poles, 99% of respondents are Polish. Why? Perhaps because they are often extremely sensitive to the opinions about them as a nation. It's probably the effect of centuries of looking down on Poles as somehow "inferior" Europeans by Western nations. ;] Now I shall address your specific points. With points 1, 4, 5 and 6 agreed in principle, but IMO points 2 and 3 are only partly true. This is a nation of some 40 million people and a lot depends on the age, education, lifestyle, beliefs and other qualities that determine various patterns of behaviour. Poles are not the same in everything. I'd say that the reserved attitude and drinking issues are exaggerated by many foreigners. It's not that difficult to make good friends in this country, if one offers Poles a valuable input. They don't like the displaying of loudly expressed enthusiasm immediately on meeting someone new, because they consider this artificial and insincere. They expect more than words and hugs. Certainly this differs from the Latin approach, it's closer to the prevailing attitudes in northern/central Europe. About alcohol: very many Poles don't drink much. I know many who don't drink at all. I drink rarely (and if I do, it's mostly wine), and I have no problem refusing a drink. And, contrary to popular belief, beer is the most preferred alcoholic beverage in Poland, not vodka. My feeling is - many foreigners get excessively excited about this whole vodka thing. I think they're looking for confirmation of the seemingly eternal image of Poles as vodka-lovers.

[@rafalsobolewski7722]

Lack of sunlight is certainly a bummer in the winter time. However what is really impossible to get used to for people from low latitude places is the 20-hours-long day in the summer. For people used to the fact that the sun always gets up between 6AM and 8AM and always sets before 9PM, all year round, the 3AM dawn and the 11PM dusk seriously affects their sleep patterns. Without completely opaque, blackout window blinds or shutters it is extremely miserable in June and July to try and get some sleep. Also, these days Poland is not cheap, period. Yes, it is still cheaper by a factor of 2, as compared to the USA, which means the prices in Poland today are about the same level as they were in 2010 in the USA, but you have to make at least $100k US dollars gross for Poland to feel "upper-middle-class comfortable". And that is just the cost of living stuff, because the real estate prices in Poland are downright insane. You can easily pay $1 million for a house in Warsaw, or $500k for a condo (admittedly a nice downtown condo, about 100m2). If you enjoy US-style commute, or are a digital nomad, you can sure get a place like 30km away from the city center for 50% of the said prices. there are plenty of big suburban malls, its just if you want to do something in the city, it means a drive or a train ride.

[@duszek_z_lego]

Regarding this drinking and not-drinking, I think it might have roots in communism times. Then, it was a kind of proverb that if somebody doesn't drink, then probably denounces. As you know most of home parties in Poland has a rivers of alcohol and in those days it was very often than some informers didn't drink but later on informed services who told what. And lot of people had serious troubles because of this. Of course it was long time ago but some habits are still alive ;)

And short after I've landed in Warsaw I was hit by the hard truth. Some prices were indeed the same like in Romania, but most of the times were much higher than in Romania. Only things that were cheaper in Poland, was some grocery foods, bottled water, alchohool, cigarettes and some medicines and that's it.

However, after covid and especially after the election of 2023 in turkey, the prices get %300 higher and we became a country that cannot be productive and bcs of inflation and wrong political approaches, prices undeniable gets higher. One latte is 50 TL and one pack of cigarette is almost 50 TL as well.

I am Polish with some Scandinavian blood. I took a dna test. So many Polish people can be mixed with other ethnicities.

I think that a Pole who likes alcohol too much is a bit false. "Europe drinks the most alcohol in the world - according to a new report by the World Health Organization. Nine European Union countries are in the top ten countries with the highest consumption. Poland, with an average consumption of 11.9 liters per person, ranks 17th in this category." "Heavy alcohol drinking is considered to be the consumption of a single dose of 60g of pure ethanol. 38% of Danes admitted to episodes of this type at least once a month. This country ranks first in the heavy drinking ranking. The remaining steps on the podium are occupied by Romania and Luxembourg. In Poland, 17% of adults drink heavily."

Do not hesitate that your English language is imperfect... You have an opportunity to study it superiorly.

for last 8 years we moved back for about 30 years, because of our politicians, they destroyed almost everything; army, education, health care, cuonterintelligence, relationships with our neighbourhood

Dark humor lol is true and also if you are not religious it might be awkward to live there just avoid religious conversations...

I desagree with you about the weather . I am Polish and no way that at 2.30pm it’s dark over the winter…

[@salems_lot]

Polish weather sounds really similar to weather here in the Balkans.

Najwieksza roznica pomiedzy ludzmi np. UK a Polska jest taka ze nie ma u nas czegos jak sztuczny usmiech i obluda. Wszedzie sie usmiechaja i daja ci nadzieje i nic z tego nie wynika. W polsce urzednik powie ci wprost ze jest jak jest i nie marnujesz czasu zyjac z nadzieja.

Have you watched the obligatory film about the Polish sense of humor ,,Miś" - ?

[@dariusznykaza3449]

All is true😂

[@bartomiejludwinek9145]

Some kind of subjects are "delicate" (unfortunatelly). F.e. when somebody has the cancer. It is hard for most people to talk about it. I have a cancer, and i'm joking about it. So new met people start to act naturally. It is not for every one. I joke usually: "You know, every body wants to got some pet under the christmass tree. So i got cancer". 😜

You should do video with your wife . How does she find herself in polish reality . I am planning to come back and quite curious how specially your wife finds herself . All the best and Witaj w Polsce :)

[@lm157]

You'll be fine, I came back last year and found a job in one day! Plenty of jobs in Poland rn. I also rented a small flat for refurbishment and the rent is insanely cheap, although I have to refurbish everything there as its literally only walls there. But I don't mind, I'll do it, slowly but surely.

Poland still is a developing countrythat is a fact🙂sadly

[@Mitch_Knott]

Cześć love the video! just had a few English corrections for you to improve your speaking, hope this doesn't seem rude. Don't say "drunkers" (It's not a word) say "drunks" instead and you said sensible instead of sensitive. Still amazing definitely better than my Polish.

[@VigosDad]

I did messup with sensible/sensitive, happens to me all the time lol. I actually said “drunkards” not drunkers though. Cheers!

[@Mitch_Knott]

@Vigo’s Dad Easy mistake! Ah, in that case you are correct with "drunkards"
